"Sa-Sam...Sam! Wake up!" Sam's eyes flew open to the sound of Elvis's voice, "Oh thank god! You're alive! But how?" Sam sat up and looked at his watch that was now cracked and saw the blue glow that was still showing, "It was almost as if something in there was protecting me," Sam chipped off some of the glass pieces off the watch and inside was some kind of blue crystal, "That blue crystal! That's one of the last hunter's protection barrier crystals! How did you find it?" Finley asked as she grabbed Leon, "I don't know, this was my father's watch...Mom. Did she put it in there?" , "Your mother must've had it for safe keeping and put it in your father's watch because she knew that you would probably need it," Elvis said. Sam smiled, 'Thank you, mother,'
Penny managed to gain enough strength to pace back and forth. Her heart missed crucial beats. Finley returned with Leon. Leon ran over to his mom hugging her tightly. " Leo!" Penny lifted him up nuzzling him, "You okay Mommy?" Leon asked. Penny smiled at him, "I should be asking you that," Leon hugged his mom again as Elvis and Sam went out to give themselves some alone time. Elvis leaned against the wall. He was rather quiet. " Elvis..." Began Sam. " I'm sorry you were involved in this. I think it may be better for you to get away from here while you still have the chance." Elvis sighed in annoyance, "Sam, don't do this again. You already told me to leave when you transformed into beast, you told me to leave when you told me that you might hurt me, and you told me to leave when you thought that Kora was gonna hurt me, but am I hurt right now," Sam shook his head. Elvis went over and grabbed Sam's face with both hand so Sam couldn't turn his head, "Exactly, so no matter what I will stay by your side Sam. Besides, you look cute when you become all beastly." Sam blushed a little, "Shut up..." He grumbled as he pouted. Elvis laughed a little as he kissed Sam's lips.
Finley stood in the bathroom looking at herself. She was dressed down to her shorts. Her robes laid in a pile on the ground. She turned the water off leaning on the counter. Her body covered in scars from her past. She heard someone enter the bathroom. " you should knock Anika." She muttered. She picked her robes off the floor. Anika chuckled quietly, "I may be older than you are but we are still women. Listen, I owe you an apology," Finely turned to look at Anika, "For what?" , "For treating you and Elvis like kids, you guys saved PontyPandy and managed to save Penny's son from what I heard." Finely smiled, but then a thought came up, "But what about Buck?" , "Without Kora he's weak, he wont be a problem for now. We'll find him, where ever he went," Finley nodded, "Now, lets head back to PontyPandy. I heard Sam's hosting a party now that his hunter powers are under control and we wont have to worry about the blood moon anymore now that Kora's gone. Plus, he's also giving a little surprise for Elvis, he's going to announce it to all of PontyPandy, and I'm just dying to see the surprise." Finely just shook her head in amusement as she got ready and followed Anika out the door.
Finley was rather quiet the whole way there. She kept holding her hand over her arm. "is there something you want to tell me?" asked Anika. "no. Not really." replied Finley. Anika paused. "This Donovan guy, did he hurt you?" she asked. Finley nodded. "yeah. I kept quiet about it. I even let him pay me so no one would find out." Anika hugged her. "you need to tell someone. Rape is a very serious thing." Finley nodded, "I'll tell my sister about it when we get to PontyPandy," Anika nodded, the. A thought came in mind, "You know, I take that back, you're not a kid, but a teenager who always keeps things bottled up." Finley laughed at that. They made it back to PontyPandy fire station where they saw Penny hanging up decorations, "Having the party in the fire station?" Penny turned and smiled as she saw Finely and Anika, "Yeah, we thought that this would be more better than doing it in town.", "sis I need to talk to you." Penny got down from the ladder. " it's about what happened to me in the past." She took her sister's hand. " I was raped when I was in the guild. I never told anyone about it. Donovan paid me not to say anything." Penny gasped, she pulled her sister into a hug, "Oh Finely, why didn't you tell me?" , "I didn't want you to get hurt," , "That's no excuse for you to keep a secret from me, what if it had gotten worse if I didn't know about it?Well...What's done is done I suppose since Donovan won't be causing trouble anymore, but next time tell me if something happens. I will tell the police about this but I need you to trust yourself to trust me when you need to talk to me. Rape is not okay, do you understand?" Finley nodded, she felt tears on her shoulder so she patted Penny on the back to comfort her. Penny held onto her sister. " Fin, I really wished you never left Newtown. I know that our parents dying was rough on you but I wished you never left. I would have kept you safe." Finley hugged Penny tighter, "I know, I wished I never left either, but I'm staying here now. Besides, who else is gonna watch your back while you're doing your firefighter duties?" Penny just laughed. Suddenly someone cleared their throat. they turned and saw Anika, "Listen, I know that you are sister and all that but can we please get the decorations done already? This one needs to get her party animal out and going, and I need to find out what surprise Sam has for Elvis. Who knows, it could be something big." Finley laughed uncomfortably the minute she said the word " big". She had taken the term out of context. Anika slapped her across the shoulder. " okay mom!" Finley stuck her tongue out at her before getting to work.
